2007

Foresight Newsletter #9

The last Foresight Newsletter of 2007 is out! This one I’m especially proud of, as I spent some time going back through the wiki, older newsletters and chatting with a few folks about all of of Foresight’s accomplishments this past year.

You’ll also get a look at X-Chat, a GNOME IRC Client, contributed by Eric Lake aka etank, updates on the next alpha, and documentation updates for deveopers.

You can subsribe to the newsletter in your favorite feed reader here, and don’t forget to Digg it!

Foresight 2.0 Bittorrent Client: Deluge

One of the criticisms Foresight 1.x and 2.0 have been dinged for is lack of a good bittorrent client included in the official repositories.

Yesterday Antonio (aka doniphon) officially committed Deluge to the Foresight 2.0 (still alpha!) repository. I am happy to report after a night of testing, it works wonderfully! Thank you Antonio!

Get it: sudo conary update deluge

pscott has maintained Deluge in his personal repository for 1.x (due to some Boost issues, I believe), which has also worked well for Foresight 1.x. (Thanks pscott!) If you’re using Foresight 1.4.2, you can install it via:

<br /> sudo conary update deluge=asylum.rpath.org@fl:1

Enjoy!

Foresight Year in Review

One of the things I’ll be working on this weekend as I try and finish up the December newsletter, is adding a “Year in Review” section for this months issue.

From our 1.0 release this past January to alpha 1 of 2.0 in December and everything in between, I’m looking to capture the highlights this year for Foresight, it’s users and developers.

Have an idea? Email me at pcutler at foresightlinux dot org or leave a comment below, and you can be part of the newsletter!
